   Summary: Mostly good, but educate yourself r.e. food FIRST
I found this book mostly good, but its written in a very scatterbrained way. It constantly makes reference to other pages and chapters, lacking basic cohesion. Because of this it was difficult for me to read, and I had to read the book in its entirity before using its information. It also had some ideas different from mine, such as introducing nuts so early. On the other hand, it was indeed chock full of useful information, for instance, the author would gush about the endless uses of plastic bags (!). The best thing about the book was her Super Porridge recipe and we use it all the time, so that alone was worth the cost of the book to me. Overall, I agree with other reviewers that a slightly less superior attitude, more organization, a discussion r.e. obviously controversial food intruductions in the appropriate areas, and less overall wordiness would make this book more of a stand out.

   Summary: informative guide to make natural baby food
I liked the section of what ages the baby can start eating foods and it gives you ideas and recipes to use home grown products.

   Summary: Clothes Dryer Lint Play Dough!
This book is about more than food. This book is the product of an amazingly frenzied maternal mind. Yes, there is a recipe in here for play dough made with lint gathered from your dryer. Amazing!! How can you not love that. There are so many other tidbits in this crazy delightful creation. Sure, it is also outdated--definitely check with doctors re: what to introduce when. No nuts before 2 I would say, to be on the safe side. Other reviewers have mentioned this of course.

   Summary: Good for a reference, but use your own instincts...
I purchased this book on recommendation of my sister-in-laws who have all used it. I work full-time out of the home, continue to pump and nurse my baby, and desire to feed him as nutriciously and healthy as possible.

First off, the book is a jumbled mess. This woman appears to have no editor, and poor self-editing techniques. She includes so much information in such a poor format that it literally took me a month of reading and a stack of posty-notes before I had organized it the way I found it to be the most user-friendly. Upon the advice of several other women, I tabbed the areas I would need, and forgot about the rest.

The advice on when to start the certain foods, how to pick and cook them, and the section on super porridge are all I really use. I have "Baby Wised" my baby, and therefore do not agree that a child needs to be nursing 6 times a day, eating three full means, and eating snacks at 9 months old! That is ridiculous, and my son would never eat that much! He is at a healthy, chubby weight, and only nurses three times a day, two of which are combined with a food serving.

The point is, the book is good, but it isn't the Bible. Take the advice you need, and leave the rest (such as serving Peanut Butter before 1 year old!). My son hates jarred food, but I do try to serve it to him at least once a week for the occasional emergency that may arrise (i.e. flying out of town for a family death and didn't have the time or means to carry 4 days worth of frozen food with me).

Added bonus: While I'm purchasing and cooking fresh veggies for baby to eat, I've started to make more for hubby and I to eat! We've both become more healthy because we are feeding are baby homemade foods! :)

   Summary: Lunatic woman
This woman is a crazy lunatic. As a professional chef, her recipes do not make sense, hard to follow, and she has complicated recipes that could be easy, and yummy. She is a paranoid woman trying to make us paranoid like her. Do Not Buy this book. You will find yourself getting angry, just at the sight of this book.
